At yesterday's fundraiser, Howard's special guest was Cynthia McKinney, a former congresswoman from Georgia. Also present was civil rights attorney Michael Sussman — who represents Bryant's family in a civil rights suit against the city.

:woohoo:

1. This has to be a lie

I just read that she threw the Democrats under the bus and was as evil as George Bush himself.:eyes:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

5. .....

:rofl:

[Whisp]

24. and she is crazy eyed with a wierd hairdo!

don't listen to what she has to say
throw her under the back of the bus!
:sarcasm:

[mdmc]

41. lol

:kick:

[proud2BlibKansan]

45. And she is an anti-Semite!!

[Lilith Velkor]

56. and she eats kittens!

[UGADUer]

2. I've met McKinney, worked with her

And I have to say that it isn't a case here of her leaving Democrats but the other way around (although to be fair thousands of Republicans jumping into a Democratic Primary is what did her in at least in 2002 and played a role in 2006).

6. Dem/DLC threw McKinney "under the bus" they just got rid of her earlier

than they did the rest of us. Agree...Cynthia didn't leave the Party...the Party left her...under the bus with road tracks from backing up on her.

Thanks for your post.

8. That's what Lieberman says too.

But the fact is that in both cases, they were dumped by their Democratic constituents.

[KoKo]

11. Total Difference! Lieberman was Dumped for his votes on Issues that Dems

who knew about the Bush Criminals in sending us into Iraq and stealing an election which "Holy Joe" participated in and his compliance in voting with Repugs on supporting Bush after 2000.

McKinney was targeted for her telling the truth about the Bushies before our Party and America were ready to hear it. She knew they were criminals...because she had the intelligence plus the Independence of Thought to point it out. She's like the kid who knew the Emperor had no Clothes...but she wasn't a kid but an intelligent elected member of Congress. And "our own" went after her and never stopped..including Pelosi who refused to reinstate McKinney's Committee Seniority once she won re-election.

15. not cynthia. She is much loved by her constituents! It took tons of filth to get

her out of office. They worked on it 24/7 and then some.

[mondo joe]

23. She can't be al that loved or she'd have won her primary. Or else her

constituents recognized that love or not she was a liability.

[robinlynne]

26. Watch american blackout. it answers that specific question with the story of what happened.

She is adored. by millions, not just in her district, I might add. remember the bush-gore elciton, the bush-kerry election? Do you think they lost too?
(If yes, let's not even continue on.)

[mondo joe]

27. You'll have to produce evidence that the Dems defrauded McKinney.

But if you prefer to cling to your conspiracy, be my guest.

[CatWoman]

34. if I may

I'm one of her former constituents, and I remember vividly fat, white, racist republican fuckers actually bragging about crossing over during the primary.

And at my polling place, the machine refused to register my vote. It took several tries. The error kept coming up saying that I wasn't registered.

you need to educate yourself.

instead of denigrating the film, why not try to broaden your mind? then, perhaps then, you'll know what the fuck you're talking about.

[mondo joe]

36. I have an open mind and I'm happy to look at any evidence.

Seriously.

I find it hard to believe a movie is the only place such evidence can be found.

[UGADUer]

28. ACTUALLY Georgia has OPEN PRIMARIES

And there is statistical evidence that shows REPUBLICAN voters unseated McKinney. BIG difference there.

[mondo joe]

29. Produce your evidence, please.

Thank you.

[UGADUer]

30. Go to Google Video and watch American Blackout

Sundance Award winning film, which has the databank evidence. Huge statistical drop in the number of Republican voters that year, a campaign by GOP operatives to get people to vote in the Democratic Primary; "extra" votes that didn't show up voting for other Dem. candidates but for McKinney v. Opponent.

Honestly those of us in Georgia who had to live through this disaster understand what happened. We don't need people who don't lecturing us about it.

[mondo joe]

32. Oh I see - there's a MOVIE.

There are a lot of movies that purport to show a lo of things.

I'd just like the evidence please.

Thanks.

[mdmc]

40. I doubt she would have lost if only dems voted in the primary

No 'facts', just opinion. She only lost cause the dlc and gop got in bed together.

[proud2BlibKansan]

46. It's an excellent documentary

I highly recommend it.

[mondo joe]

3. Good. That is an improvement over her anti-Gore nastiness.

[mdmc]

4. How could she turn on Gore after he fought so hard to make sure

no voters were disenfranchised? She really had no right--Gore fought so hard to make sure black votes were counted.

[UGADUer]

10. Gore fought to make sure voters weren't disenfranchised?

LMAO.

He ASKED SENATORS not to stand with the CBC in 2000.

[Horse with no Name]

44. Actually I have heard about this before and NO I don't have a link

It was on an early morning Sunday program. The CBC was ready to stand up and fight the election results in 2000 . Gore asked them not to because he didn't want to divide the country. So, although TECHNICALLY you are a little correct, the truth lies in between. He asked them not to fight for HIM.

[proud2BlibKansan]

47. It's in Farenheit 9/11

IIRC, towards the beginning of the movie.

[Horse with no Name]

51. You are absolutely correct

I KNEW I had seen it somewhere.
Thanks P2BL!

[proud2BlibKansan]

54. I have seen it probably 7 times

LOL I should have it memorized by now.

[robinlynne]

16. where, when, and how?

13. Have some links we can read or can you give a synopsis of

what you've learned Gore did that was so immoral and hurtful to black people. I've never heard this accusation against Gore before...and I'm very interested in hearing what you can document to enlighten folks like me.

[KoKo]

20. Either the "crickets are chirping" or this poster is doing "Heavy Google" to find

some dirt on Al Gore dissing African-Americans and causing them pain....

:eyes:

[mondo joe]

22. What are those hurtful things, Mr or Ms 108 posts?

[UGADUer]

31. Your posts on an internet message board

Don't determine how much you know about American politics.

[mondo joe]

33. Please just backup your claims then.

That would certainly prove you right.

[UGADUer]

35. It's a value-judgement, it can't be proved right

But I do feel like Iraqi kids starved to death and Mexican immigrants making the deathly trek to America because NAFTA incinerated their jobs are a moral loss on our nation.

[mondo joe]

37. Your claim was that a lot of what Gore did in the 90's was immoral.

What's your list?

[UGADUer]

38. The two items there disqualify anyone from being a moral person

If I kill one person in an unjustified manner, it's wrong. What happens when it's thousands?

[mondo joe]

39. I guess I missed Al Gore killing thousands of people.

But you first said Al Gore did a lot of immoral things that hurt black people.

Then you mentioned dying Iraqi children and Mexicans. By "Black" did you mean Mexican and Iraqi?

[proud2BlibKansan]

48. Clinton's sanctions against Iraq

resulted in many children's deaths.

[mondo joe]

50. Clinton does not = Gore. NT

[proud2BlibKansan]

52. Well they did both serve together in the executive branch

I don't blame Gore for the sanctions, as I realize it's a bit more complicated than that. However, I do think the sanctions against Iraq were one of the few mistakes made by the Clinton administration.

[mondo joe]

53. The VP does not set executive policy/

Cheney discounted.

[conscious evolution]

17. Could that be because

she is an actual Democrat instead of being a person who only pretends to be a Dem?

[lateo]

18. Well we all know that the other "person"

is a DLC plant.

[earthside]

19. One Democrat

The subject line should read "Cynthia McKinney CAMPAIGNS for A democrat!

Actually, my prediction is that McKinney will be the Green Party candidate for President in 2008.

Is a Green Party White House bid in Cynthia McKinney's future? - OnPolitics/USA Today

McKinney registers to vote in California - Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Cynthia McKinney for President? - Wide Open/Cleveland.com

[mondo joe]

25. I rather hope she does.

I'm all for it.

[mdmc]

57. Hillary will get me (NYS) electoral vote

but I would love to vote for McKinney08
